Immediately following Hamas' terrorist attack in Israel on Oct. 7, student groups at Harvard University, Princeton University and beyond celebrated the slaughter of roughly 1,400 innocent people, while many faculty and administration at those institutions chose stay silent and not to condemn. In response, many wealthy donors at these institutions have pulled their funding and disassociated themselves from the universities they previously supported.
Today we get the World's Smartest Podcast Network gang of Andrew Heaton from The Political Orphanage and Andrea Jones-Rooy of Majoring in Everything back to discuss this tense time for universities in America. We examine what universities responses should look like, what the difference between free speech and hate speech is on campus, and what responsibilities donors should feel to an institution they currently disagree with.

In May 2023 Serbia had two mass shootings in the span of a month. In response, Serbia's government made it a goal to 90% of the legal and illegal guns off of the streets and into the hands of the govt.

Now five months later we check in with The Balkan Brain aka Serbian-born comedian Pedja Bajovic to see how they are doing.

Three politicians in the last month have been assassinated in Ecuador. Going hand-in-hand with the political violence has been a sharp rise in drug cartel murders, almost tripling since 2021. In a country that historically has been immune to cartel violence, the recent trends are alarming. Here to tell us why this has all happened is Ecuadorian comedian and journalist Ivan Ulchur. Ivan writes for the New York Times in addition to many Spanish language publications, and performs stand-up comedy professionally in Ecuador.
